Jotform Workflows: Ability to select a specific date to send the email

The user would like the Email element in the workflow to allow them to manually select the specific date for the email to be sent.

Hi Marijoy_A,

We're excited to introduce the Pause element in Jotform Workflows, giving you the power to schedule timing right inside your workflow and control exactly when the next step happens! Here’s all you need to do:

1. In Workflow Builder, click on Add Element on the upper-left side of the screen.

2. Then, in the menu that opens, scroll down to the bottom of the list and drag and drop the Pause element to add it to your workflow. 

3. In Workflow Builder, click on the Pause element and then click on the Gear icon on the right side of it to open Pause Properties.

4. Now, in the Pause Properties window, in the Operations section, select Pause Until Date* (*used as an example).

5. Then, select your date and time in the calendar that opens under the Dropdown menu.

Now, let’s add an Email element to the workflow:

1. In Workflow Builder, click on Add Element on the upper-left side of the screen.

2. Then, in the menu that opens, click on the Email element to add it to your flow. 

3. Hover your mouse over the Pause element, click on the Dot that appears around the edges of it, and drag the line to the Email element.

Take a look at the screenshot below to see how it looks in your Jotform Inbox:

Also, the workflow can be resumed earlier if the owner ends the pause manually. 

1. In Jotform Inbox, click on the Three Dots icon on the right side of the Paused action on the top-right side of the page.

2. Then, in the Dropdown menu that opens, select Continue.

Give it a try and reach out if you need any help along the way.
